We cannot default on the debt. Are you serious? We do need to get the deficits under control. Delaying the ACA is not one of the ways...at least according to the CBO. What we do need to do is pay for our frickin wars, reign in medical UNIT costs, and delay SS benefits.

As a side note...your hero, Reagan, doesn't look so good on that chart.

No. The House started by trying to defund the ACA because of some personal vendetta. I have yet to hear a coherent argument from any of these guys as to why they see the ACA causing financial collapse.

You guys all need a lesson on healthcare economics and government...

The ACA will make life better and healthier for very many mainstream, middle, and lower income families.

The republicans are afraid of that because it will persuade many, many people and many young adults (who would otherwise have no health care options) to vote democratic in future elections.

The collapse is in salaries, jobs, and labor participation. 90% of all new jobs are part time. (under 30 hours to be specific) Average family income down by 6%. And labor participation at an all time low. This is caused by bad policy.

You don't hear Buffet complaining do you? The pharmaceutical and mega healthcare companies stocks are skyrocketing.

The house is not trying to defund the ACA. They are trying to postpone it for a year, and remove all the exemptions. I assume you think it would collapse if the unions and corporations lost their exemptions....

No..the ACA would not collapse because the employer mandate is delayed. It is a small part do the total ACA. That is why it WAS delayed. The "exemption" for government employees is just BS designed to confuse (job well done). Unions are afraid they will lose their advantage in the health care market. So be it. Read Dick Lamms book...we cannot afford business as usual in the health care market place.

Sorry Bard. Because the Department of HHS decided to delay the minimum plan requirements for corporations because they have been unable to get their sh-t together is not a conspiracy...it is being a responsive government and not enforcing the rule of the law but instead working WITH the businesses. Isn't that what we want?
